And trust me, it was made for anyone in real estate—agents, agencies, or even developers. Let’s dive into what this theme brings to the table, and why it might just be the perfect pick for you.
Getting Started is a Breeze
The first thing you’ll notice? WP Residence makes it ridiculously easy to get going. I mean, who wants to spend hours getting bogged down with complicated setups? You can simply pick one of the 46 pre-built demos and start making tweaks immediately. Seriously, a couple of clicks, and your site already looks top-notch.

Now here’s a biggie for anyone trying to create a modern site: your site needs to look great on every device. And WP Residence has got this covered, so you don’t have to worry about your website looking odd on someone’s phone or tablet.
- Fully responsive design works beautifully across all devices.
- Retina ready means images stay sharp and clear.
Now, let’s talk design because that’s where this theme really shines.
Elementor Integration: Design Freedom
With WP Residence, you get complete control over your site’s design, especially if you’re into using Elementor. I absolutely loved this part because it gives you the power to play around with the layout, headers, and footers without needing a web designer’s skill set.
- Header & Footer Builder lets you create unique designs with Elementor.
- Eight Elementor widgets make it simple to add real estate-specific content.
